You decide to schedule all activities at their earliest start date and provide enough resources (i.e., teams) to make that possible without delays. The budget for each task is listed in the table above. Ten (10) weeks into the project, you get a performance report. The procurement and installation of the new equipment is complete, testing/fixing is at 75% complete, taking measurements is 75% complete, preparing documentation is 100% complete, operator training is 10% complete, and staff training is 20% complete. In total, $650,000 have been charged against the project.

Task	Description	% complete (at 10 weeks)
A	Procure Equipment	100%
B	Install Equipment	100%
C	Test & Fix	75%
D	Take Measurements	75%
E	Prepare Documentation	100%
F	Train Operators	10%
G	Train Staff	20%
H	Compute Pattern	0%
I	Rollout	0%
